What does HackerNews think of Awesome-CV?

:page_facing_up: Awesome CV is LaTeX template for your outstanding job application

Language: TeX

#3 in LaTeX
Delete your résumé and fill in something like: https://github.com/posquit0/Awesome-CV

You’ll probably need to get a temporary job. I suggest a union job like warehouse worker so you can get benefits.

Don’t let your pride get in the way of contracting.

Oh cool I use the same LaTeX template as her for my resume. Mine is blue instead of pink though! https://github.com/posquit0/Awesome-CV
> "Give me the original in Word Format."

Since they're all but certainly going to ghost you anyway, why not just

"Sure, here's the original. This is using features that aren't in the ancient Debian distribution of TeXlive; you'll want to follow the excellent instructions at https://github.com/posquit0/Awesome-CV to get XeLaTeX configured correctly (or it'll bomb out with the most inscrutable of errors).

I'm having a couple of locale issues with attaching files through pine at the moment, so I've pasted the source below. I trust it will not be difficult to copy-paste to a new file.

  %!TEX TS-program = xelatex
  %!TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode
  \documentclass[11pt, a4paper]{awesome-cv}
  \geometry{left=1.4cm, top=.8cm, right=1.4cm, bottom=1.8cm, footskip=.5cm}
  \fontdir[fonts/]
  \colorlet{awesome}{awesome-blue}
  \setbool{acvSectionColorHighlight}{true}
  .
  .
  .
  {\thepage}
  \end{document}
Let me know if there are any issues.

Thanks!"

This looks really nice - great to have a nice builder for the latex. Would be cool if it was possible to add your own sections.

I've been collecting a few latex resume links for those interested:

Hi, HMR author here -- HackMyResume treats LaTeX as a destination format, not a source format! So you would generate LaTeX through Handlebars/Underscore or whatever other template engine, then use your normal LaTeX workflow. Currently for example, the "awesome" theme generates a LaTeX CV based on Awesome-CV (https://github.com/posquit0/Awesome-CV). You have to run `xelatex` or similar to finish the build, which should probably be documented better.
